Lucio Corsi, the eclectic Italian singer-songwriter, is set to conclude his 2025 tour with two highly anticipated concerts at Alcatraz, Milan, on April 29 and May 4. Following his recent participation at the prestigious Festival di Sanremo, where he debuted his captivating song "Volevo essere un duro," Corsi has garnered considerable attention for his unique blend of musical styles and imaginative lyrics.
At 31, Corsi has already made significant waves on the Italian music scene. Born on October 15, 1993, in Grosseto and raised in the quaint village of Vetulonia, he fell deeply in love with music at a young age, inspired by the classic film The Blues Brothers. This passion led him to leave his hometown for Milan, where his distinctive style—a fusion of folk and glam rock reminiscent of icons like David Bowie and Lou Reed—began to attract attention.
His musical career took off with the release of his 2014 EP "Vetulonia Dakar," followed by his 2015 album "Altalena Boy," and the 2017 full-length release "Bestiario musicale," which creatively narrated the fauna of Maremma through dreamy soundscapes. The narrative continued with 2020's "Cosa faremo da grandi?" and 2023's "La gente che sogna," helping to solidify his standing as one of the most original singer-songwriters of his generation.
Corsi's recent appearance at Sanremo has been touted as his breakthrough moment. The festival not only showcased his music but also his vibrant personality. He arrived at the Ariston Theatre adorned in the flashy styles emblematic of glam rock, drawing attention and admiration. Corsi's song, "Volevo essere un duro," features lyrics infused with humor and introspection, as he reflects on societal pressures to conform to the image of strength and perfection.
According to actor and director Carlo Verdone, who has become closely associated with Corsi through his work, the young artist is more than just another singer. "Lucio è un cantautore vero, un ragazzo profondo che ama stupirsi, vive in un mondo che in qualche modo lui trasforma in una fiaba," Verdone noted. This sentiment captures the essence of Corsi's artistry—a storyteller whose songs encapsulate the whimsical and surreal nature of life.
During his time at Sanremo, Corsi showed clear enjoyment and gratitude, describing his experience as exhilarating. "Io sono felicissimo, tre giorni fa ero già a posto!" he declared, reflecting his contentment with the entire ordeal. Corsi managed to reach the second place, which is quite impressive for his first time at such a monumental event. Verdone expressed pride, stating, "Speravo che Lucio arrivasse primo: è arrivato secondo, sempre molto in alto," praising Corsi's artistic integrity and potential for greater achievements.
Now, as Corsi prepares for his upcoming concerts, excitement among fans is palpable. The performances at Alcatraz are expected to blend his most beloved tracks with new creations, including his recently released single, "Tu sei il mattino," which was well received partly due to its collaboration with Verdone.
Tickets for the concerts, priced at €25 plus fees, promise to deliver fans an intimate glimpse of Corsi's creative process. Corsi aims to take his audience on what he describes as "a trip through poetry, dream, and music." His artistic vision seeks to merge reality with imagination, creating engaging narratives through his musical performances.
The concerts are not merely the end of his tour but also the beginning of what promises to be a promising chapter for Corsi. With the enthusiastic reception at Sanremo and the growing visibility leading to his concerts, many anticipate remarkable evolutions in his artistic direction. Corsi is not just riding the wave of his recent success; he is preparing to expand his audience and explore new musical landscapes.
Through deliberate growth and uncompromising vision, Lucio Corsi stands at the precipice of mainstream success, all the more unique with his dedication to authenticity. The upcoming shows are symbolic of his emergence, as they invite fans to share not just in his music but also his extraordinary artistic ethos.
